Marriage in Morocco: Male Blessing & Private Maher Announcement

Post new topic

JosephE1!

My fiances (Moroccan Born Female/ 25 Years Old)  father passed away  and she has a question regarding a male to sign on her behalf during the aadoul marriage process. Her father has passed away, and would prefer not asking another male uncle due to personal reasons. She wondered if it actually essential in moroccan law? to have a male figure to give blessings acceptance of the marriage (waliy el2amr). During the signing of marriage documents with the aadoul (nktb 3akd zwaj)  Can we process our marriage without the male figure and instead just her mother?




Question 2.  She and me, also wondered if it was possible to not have the aadoul announce the Maher (sda9) if front of anyone and just keep it personal between me / her and the aadoul in a private room. Then for the aadoul to return in front of our guests and proceed with our marriage papers/record.




This is her question in arabic Darija  :

1.To sign, it can be relative from her father

- grand father, or

-uncle,or

- brother,or

- son of ur brother,or

- the last u can ask adoul to find witness



2. it should be announce the Maher while male dealing with adoul. Don't care what people say about low Maher. Kind girls not make maher difficult.



That's what Quran role says as a muslim

@Slebeww  Thank you but you did not answer my first, i asked : does my fiance need to do this? is it ok to get married without a male presence, just her mother. thank you

Slebeww

@JosephE1! No, there should be another witness from her father side, if can't then u can ask from adoul side as a witnesses to sign the paper.

Hi, For point number one it better to ask the adoul directly about this as usually they will ask the uncle to be present. But if you speak with the adoul they can confirm and agree to what you want under their discretion.


point number 2: Yes this is agreed privately however it will be written in the marriage contract certification and the adoul must confirm this with you with witnesses if this is what you agreed. Whatever you have agreed privately is private to you and whatever you have agreed to be shown in the marriage contract is open to everyone.


For example you and your fiancé and family might agree to pay zero but for the marriage contract you will say 20,000 dh and it will say that you already paid it. 


Hope that helps
